Here is an old drawing that I finally got a decent photo of. Its of my son Lucas sleeping at 3 months old. I wanted to draw him at actually life-sized so it was a document of how little he was, even measured his head with a ruler. It's graphite on plate bristol.

Hi David,forgive my basic question - but did you use a carbon pencil or charcoal for the deep dark background on this image? I can never get anything this dark with graphite alone.. I would love to know - thanks for your time
